BASEBALL MEMORABILIA

How do I prep my young sons for a career in the majors!?

I have 6 sons. 2 from me & 4 stepsons. My son Isaiah and my stepson Manny (both 6 yrs.)in particular are built for baseball. They have a good arm, natural talent & a love for the game. I don’t want to pressure them but I want to prepare them for the possibility of a major league career one day. I know it is competitive but I want them to be ready if and when the opportuniy arises one day. My husband is from the Dominican Republic and I am half Cuban Baseball is a very big part of our cultures. Our whole family are finatics for the sport me the Yankess & my husband the Mets. Although I am going to leave my husband for Pedro Martinez one day ha-ha. There is actually a guy playing for Milwakee from my husbands home town in the Dominican Republic and my girlfriend’s husband is an owner of a Dominican team in the Domincan Republic. I just want to start now so that they have a chance in the future. Any ball players out there with suggestions.

Practice with him. My dad starting teaching me how to play baseball as soon as I could walk. Right now I’m 13, I’ve played in two national tournaments and I am going to play in two more this year. My team is one of the best in Virginia, and its all because I started early. Also, I got a good hitting coach(rotational swing, never weight shifting. There are many people out there against rotational hitting, but its the best). But don’t play with him so much that he gets burned out and bored of the game. That has happened to some of my friends and they were very talented. Also make sure he stays in shape.

The Eastern Stars: How Baseball Changed the Dominican Town of San Pedro de Macoris $12.99 The intriguing inspiring history of one small impoverished area in the Dominican Republic that has produced a staggering number of Major League Baseball talent from an award-winning bestselling author. In the town of San Pedro in the Dominican Republic baseball is not just a way of life. It’s the way of life. By the year 2008 seventy-nine boys and men from San Pedro have gone on to play in the Major Leagues-that means one in six Dominican Republicans who have played in the Majors have come from one tiny impoverished region. Manny Alexander Sammy Sosa Tony Fernandez and legions of other San Pedro players who came up in the sugar mill teams flocked to the United States looking for opportunity wealth and a better life. Because of the sugar industry and the influxes of migrant workers from across the Caribbean to work in the cane fields and factories San Pedro is one of the most ethnically diverse areas of the Dominican Republic. A multitude of languages are spoken there and a variety of skin colors populate the community; but the one constant is sugar and baseball. The history of players from San Pedro is also a chronicle of racism in baseball changing social mores in sports and in the Dominican Republic and the personal stories of the many men who sought freedom from poverty through playing ball. The story of baseball in San Pedro is also that of the Caribbean in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and on a broader level opens a window into our country’s history. As with Kurlansky’s Cod and Salt this small story rich with anecdote and detail becomes much larger than ever imagined. Kurlansky reveals two countries’ love affair with a sport and the remarkable journey of San Pedro and its baseball players. In his distinctive style he follows common threads and discovers wider meanings about place identity and above all baseball.The intriguing inspiring history of one small impoverished area in the Dominican Republic that has produced a staggering number of Major League Baseball talent from an award-winning bestselling author.
